I have a hen who has been about 2 years with me,never been broody(the only one that has never been),I put a cardboard box with some eggs that I marked to try to encourage them to get broody,I change the eggs every few days to stop them from going bad,3 days ago I saw a hen sitting on the eggs for most of the day but she stood up when it was getting dark,is she playing with me?in the morning when I put the feeder and water she stands up and gets some food,the whole time making cluck noises and hissing,any small movement close to her and she goes ballistic, attacking and harassing the other hens,today she even went after my shoe,later at the day around 7 pm when I usually let them out to free range for an hour,she stands up and acts normal except for the cluck noises she has been making for the past days,at dark she goes to the roost and not to the nest will she go broody or is this how some hens go broody?
